Excellent recipe. I just cubed the potatoes and gently boiled them for 15 mins instead of going through the process above (I don't believe in peeling red potatoes anyway). I really like the flavor the ranch and relish add. This is a keeper.

This was pretty good, but I didn't feel that pasta went well with with it. I would use the meat sauce as is, and layer the "bake" with tortillas instead. Definitley a good dish to feed the family though...

I honestly thought this recipe was okay. I made it exactly as described. I found the top to be too cheesy and macaroni not cheesy enough. Maybe Colby is not the right cheese for this. In any case, I'm glad others liked it, but I think you need to find a way to spread the cheese more evenly, and do something to add some flavor.

As an "easy meatloaf" this does deserve 5 stars. Everyone loved it. Be sure to check with a meat thermometer though. Mine was only at 140 degrees after an hour. Needs to be 160-170. I cooked it to 160 and it was totally moist. Thanks for posting it!

The first time I made these I skipped the water soaking step because it didn't seem necessary, and they turned out great. Later when mom visited I handed her the recipe to make while I BBQed the main course. She did soak in water and the batter didn't stick very well. So skip the water and enjoy!

This is a solid tuna casserole recipe, and I agree with the other posts: don't rate others if you make major changes to their recipes. Post your customized recipe, then rate yourself. The only criticism I have is that a 9x13 baking dish is too big. If you want a casserole that big, double the recipe. I used a smaller casserole dish and I still don't think it came out deep enough. I would also add some chopped onion for flavor. That being said, I give four stars based purely on taste. I liked it, and so did my daughter.
